'“To be honest with you, I really wasn’t worried about it,” Amaro said. “I had no intention of attacking anybody, especially Rex. I have the utmost respect for the guy. He gave me a chance to play in this league before anybody else. That’s an everlasting thank you to him.”'

Jets' Jace Amaro on Buffalo Bills' Rex Ryan ripping him: 'That's the way he is,
'"I guess it's just one of those things," Amaro said Tuesday, as the Jets opened a three-day voluntary minicamp. "I'm not really sure what you want me to say. That's the way he is, I guess. I didn't take it as any insult. I really didn't even look at any of them [Ryan's comments], besides the first one. I'm just worried about this team and what we have to do now.'
What similarities does Ryan Fitzpatrick see in Chan Gailey's Jets offense, to Buffalo Bills
'Gailey used a spread offense in Buffalo, and while it looks like he'll employ something very similar with the Jets, it's too early to determine exactly what the offense will look like.'
Jets tight end: No issues with Rex Ryan
'"I had no intention of attacking anybody, especially Rex," Amaro said Tuesday during the first day of voluntary minicamp. "I have the utmost respect for the guy. He gave me a chance to play in this league before anyone else, so that’s an everlasting thank you to him."'
Bills pick up 5th-year option on Stephon Gilmore's contract
'Gilmore has been a three-year starter in Buffalo since being selected with the 10th pick in the 2012 draft out of South Carolina. He had a career-best three interceptions last season.'
Jets' Amaro not bothered by Rex Ryan's criticisms
'Amaro took the high road when asked if he's looking forward to the two games against the Bills — in Week 10 at home and Week 17 at Buffalo — because Ryan is apparently planning to make sure the tight end is not a factor for the Jets.'
Bills pick up option on Gilmore
'Gilmore, the 10th overall pick of the 2012 draft, has been a key part of a Buffalo defense that permitted a league-low 16 passing touchdowns and allowed the third-fewest yards through the air last season.'
Bills exercise Gilmore's option
'The sides can continue to work on a potential long-term deal.'
Bills' Ryan seemed to really enjoy getting his team on the field
'We all want to know who the starting quarterback is going to be against Indianapolis or maybe we want to know who’s the front runner. Ryan just isn’t going to give up that information right now, “All the guys and you can throw Tuel in there, but I’m being realistic, the three top guys in my opinion, you don’t know how it’s going to shake out. We might predict this or predict that and if you polled everybody, there’s nobody that’s going to be lined up exactly, so let’s let it shake out. I feel good about the three guys, but by the time we end it, there’ll be a clear guy at number one.”'
Bills exercise 5th-year option on Gilmore
'The option being picked up means the cornerback will be guaranteed just north of $11 million once the 2016 league year begins. The team and Gilmore can also negotiate a long-term agreement to keep him in Buffalo. With players like Marcell Dareus, Nigel Bradham, and Cordy Glenn all entering the final year of their deals, that would be the ideal situation for the Bills to keep Gilmore and lower his cap number to free up money to sign others.'
Report: Bills GM Doug Whaley to visit Bryce Petty
'Petty threw for 3,855 yards with 29 touchdown passes and five rushing touchdowns. Petty and the Baylor Bears lost the Goodyear Cotton Bowl 42-41 to Michigan State. Petty had 550 yards and three touchdown passes in that contest.'
QB rotation begins at veteran minicamp
'“They all got reps,” said Ryan. “(Jeff) Tuel is probably the only one, he probably got a little bit shortchanged, but he did get a number of reps as well. But the top three were getting the exact same number of reps. Jeff (Tuel), he got plenty of reps, but it wasn’t the exact number those guys had.'
Bills pick up fifth-year option on CB Stephon Gilmore
'“Because we’ve drafted so well (our attention) turns to our own players,” said Whaley on the John Murphy Show in the wake of their busy signing period in March. “Marcell Dareus, Cordy Glenn, Nigel Bradham, Stephon Gilmore, they will be our free agency next year.”'
5 Storylines to follow in Rex Ryan’s first minicamp
'Ryan has said more than once that the quarterback competition will be balanced in its approach as the offensive staff makes a concerted effort to rotate the four QBs on the roster through in an effort to provide equal snaps. Still, there will be an order by which the signal callers rotate through. Who will be first, second, third and fourth on Tuesday, and will that order change on Wednesday and Thursday?'
Bills waive Green
'Green was a January signing of the Bills.'
